Super User Catch and Grease Posted March 13, 2015 Super User Posted March 13, 2015 What are you wanting to use the rod and reel for? Quote
bassinnoobie Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 its going to be my cranking and finesse rod mosty but I am going fish crystle clear creeks Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted March 13, 2015 Super User Posted March 13, 2015 What power & action is your rod? The reel's size helps too. Also, what size bass do you usually catch? Quote
bassinnoobie Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 ok whats more invisable 10 pound p line invisx or 8 pound trilene Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted March 13, 2015 Super User Posted March 13, 2015 Small diameter braid might suit you well, it's strong enough for your crankbaits but is still small enough for the finesse stuff, and you can always throw on a fluoro leader. Quote
bassinnoobie Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 What power & action is your rod? The reel's size helps too. Also, what size bass do you usually catch? its a medium moderate-fast with pfouger trion I think the 35 Quote
bassinnoobie Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 I have the mono and floro though. just which one 1 Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted March 13, 2015 Super User Posted March 13, 2015 Use the 8lb mono. Trilene XL is going to lay on that spool a lot nicer than the stiffer fluorocarbon will. If you think you're not getting as many bites as you should be, pickup a small spool of 6lb to 8lb fluorocarbon and tie on a leader. 1 Quote
stepchild Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Personally, I only use mono for top water, as it floats real well and has a bit of give to it. If you happen to be quick on setting the hook, the stretch in the line might save you from ripping the bait out of the fish's mouth. For any other application, I use either fluoro or braid. I also tie on a fluoro leader to the braid, as suggested above, for all my finesse rigs. I feel the braid gives you the sensitivity you need, while the fluoro leader is less visible and more abrasion-resistant. Hope this helps Quote
bassinnoobie Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 I just remembered that I have 2 spools for that reel so I can put some 6 I think my dad has lying around on 1 for the creeks and the 10 pound floro on the other for the lake and ponds. right? Quote
JaxBasser Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 10lb floro is going to be a nightmare if it's a 2500 size reel. Go 8 or even 6. Edit - Just saw its a Trion 35. I'd still go down to 8lb floro. Quote
